Prison of Peace
The program that proved transformation is possible anywhere
Doug co-founded Prison of Peace to teach affect labeling to inmates serving time for violent crimes, empowering them to transform their own facilities. They were trained in the method, became peer mediators, and created change from the inside.
What They Learned
Deep listening practices
Emotional recognition and reflection
Rapid de-escalation techniques
Dispute mediation training
The Results
Measurable reductions in violence
Thousands trained in the 90-second method
Inmates with violent pasts now teaching the method
International recognition and adoption
If transformation is possible where hope is rare, it is possible anywhere people struggle to work together.
